Holy Holidays!!

I hope you have had the Merriest of Christmases!

I am sure that the parade of Gods children surveyed in your family and friends at this feast of the Prince of Peace, contained some decidedly unpeacefull folks, ie. Fundamentalists, better yet pre-millenialist fundamentalists!

Have you been searching for an explaination of how some of these folks express their "christian love" by saying that you will spend eternity in the "lake of fire" for having voted for Obama.

The blessed talents of Joe Bageant, provide the best explaineroo I have seen yet, along with some recompense to ye liberal Catholics in the audience, a tie-in to Thomas Merton.

Its a bit long, but i figger yinz guys to be of the intellectual muster fer this stuff!

PS thanks to Matt i have the Bageant interview on CD and will forward it to Joe for inclusion on his Podcast list (a plot for some permenance to clairadio, no doubt!)

Everything you (liberals) know is wrong

After we start a War of perverse cost and motivation. After we brow-beat unions with $75/hr bullshit. Let us at long last remind the United States of Lemmings that FDR was Evil and Ronald Reagan proceedeth from the right hand of the father

those who do not know history are doomed to repeat their selective, willfull ignorance incessantly

The pushers of the Wall Mart economy want to claim the "trust buster" as their own.

Quite a stretch, Mahablog sets them straight.

sanity for Christmas

The column "Savage Love" appears in the city paper, it contained this letter which should be placed on the windshield of every car of every church, who thought it the greatest priority of the followers of Jesus, to "defend marriage" from Homosexuals.

One of Gods gifts, is to give us moral instuction from people who say motherf#$ker instead of "praise the lord".

In the instances of "Savage love" and "Rude Pundit" the instruction is superior, check them out and have a blessed Christmas.

Now stop playing with your pud and go out their and act like Jesus!

I'm a 28-year-old woman. I've been with my current boyfriend for five years. He's married and has been telling me the whole time that he's going to leave his wife eventually. There's always an excuse: a crisis with the kids, money problems, etc. I've been stupid to stay with him for so long, but I just can't keep away from him.

I just found out I'm pregnant, and I haven't told my boyfriend. This is the second time we've been pregnant. Last time he reacted very badly, and I miscarried after a few weeks. I know he'll want me to get rid of the baby, but I'm going to keep it.

Whenever his wife goes away, I go over to the house to spend time with him. I've been planting evidence of our affair around the house in the hopes his wife will find it. So far, no luck. I'd like him to be man enough to leave her, but that's probably never going to happen. I could leave him, but if I do, I want to make sure he's miserable. I'm not going to vanish from his life and leave him all happily ever after. I'm thinking of going and telling his wife. What do you think? Is there any way I can force him to tell her?

Now The Other Mom

No advice for you, NTOM, but plenty of prenatal sympathy for a poor unfortunate fetus who deserves better parents or his very own miscarriage.

I will, however, hold on to your letter. I'm going to forward a copy to every doucheburst who writes in to tell me that gay marriage is wrong because every child deserves a mother and a father. Moms and dads can be great—I had a terrific set, myself—but mix-matched genitals are not enough. Kids need loving, fit, and reasonably sane parents. Having one twatted parent and one pricked parent does not guarantee a happy childhood.

Republicans moon the middleclass

Close to a thousand billion dollars in corporate welfare were doled out in the financial bail out.

The Auto industry asks for bridge loans of less than 5 billion so all of a sudden, we have to have immediate wage cuts from those enemies of the American Oligarcy we call Unions.

Yes Virginia, as hard as it is to believe that this nice christian republican senator who is doing his best to protect you from radical islam and keep christ in christmas just told your daddy to go f#%k himself but that is, nonetheless the case.

Close to home

Any time private enterprise screws something up, through their innate orientation to stupidity and greed, we must find Libbbrrrralll Meddleing to blame!

Ford GM and Chrysler are on the ropes because of the EPA and CAFE standards!

The mortgage crises was caused by the Community reinvestment act requireing fly by night banks to actually invest in their communities by writing local mortgages instead of speculating in pork belly futures in Khualla Lampuur.

An explanation of why this right wing appologia is a bunch of crap

Back to normal

Received word from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency that our funding is approved and our home is saved. Thanks to all who expressed concern. The way the economy is going, I wont be the last to go through this shit, I'm sure. I will give a more detailed explaneroo of this later, but suffice it to say, thanks to "community activists" such as the "Mon Valley Unemployed committee" and others who raised hell when the steel mills were shutting down in the 80's, thanks to progressive legislators such as Allen Kukovich and Tom Michlovic we have "Act 91" of 1983 on the books, the best foreclosure rescue program in the country.

I am sure that these good people were called "socialists" by Reagan Democrats and other deceived shitheads.

On behalf of my kids and wife, God bless the Socialists!

Sorry

Sorry for the absence since election day, bigger fish to fry. As some of you have figured from your reading of the legal notices we are in the fight of our lives to save our family home, I go in front of Judge Colville on monday the 24th to argue for a delay to the sherriffs sale schedualed for December 1st. Anyone with suggestion as to real good prayers or attorneys, give a holler at cet1360@yahoo.com. I will try to get back to it after i deal with this shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vote

Here are your reasons

Why the 60 Senate is so important

Joe Lieberman has endorsed McCain, after Obama stood by him in the Connecticut primary.

Joe Lieberman has betrayed the Democratic party.

Joe Lieberman is such a slut for the McCain campaign, that he has undermined the State Department and spoken with foreign leaders in a manner opposed to stated United States policy.

We need 60 in the senate so Joe can be sent to be the head of the Independent caucus.

Bernie Sanders, should be given Democrat credentials (and Joes committie assignments), so that Joe can be by himself.

As to point 3.

Read the last boldface paragraph of this

Had a REAL Democrat done this, they would have been labled "traitor", guilty of interfering with US foreign policy.

WHAT was Al Gore smoking in 2000?

ADDED BONUS

Poll numbers in Georgia are lookin bad for Saxby Chambliss, that lying sack of shit who savaged Max Cleland. The only thing sweeter than his seat being number 60, is when Liebermans becomes 61.

noisolpxE

Liar liar pants on fire

Recent polling from Georgia shows Saxby Chambliss now vulnerable, see what you can do to push his lyin' ass out the window.

Remember Max Cleland!

More 'stupid local television tricks"

A florida news anchor, whos' husband is a GOP operative, tries to jam it to Joe Biden. It does not work.

(Your name) the (profession)

You are what you work, Joe the Plumber, Wendy the waitress.................

Steve Colbert takes this plastic folksyness to its logical conclusion.

Son of bullshit, petried, not stirred.

The artist previously known as "Jeff from Greenfield" was the first to speak out on this.

WPXI was played like a $2 ukelele. McCain campaign gives expert testimony on assailents state of mind/motivation, channel !! reports it as gospel truth. In a pittsburgh TV market which is at best embarrasing, channel 11 has distinguished themselves as the worst of the worst. Just take a convienient charecturization from a biased source and run with it.

Fearfull small minded people, find more to be fearfull and small minded about.

Some bullshit, weaves into the space /time continuum so as not to stand out, others stand out like a dog turd on a bright green rug.

Bonfire of the inanities

If anyone out there can keep up with the rising torrent of UTTER BULLSHIT emanating from planet America, I would appreciate your examples, hell i will even put them on the front page so you can be a guest columnist, cause its getting tooooo deep for me. For example:

My cruise in to work was bespoiled by reports of an AP poll which showed McCain and Obama in a virtual dead heat. This, on further inspection, is bullshit.

Governor Palin sold the Alaska state plane on E-bay so her family could fly to campaign events on commercial flights that could be billed to the state, so that we could see Tod Palin do his immitation of Napoleon Banaparte all of which, is bullshit.

Congressman John Murtha said that Obama will have a tough time winning Pennsylvania because of racism (no shit!). John McCain, in attempting to exploit the remark fumbled around to an agreement with Murtha, then slathered on jars full of "you are good God fearing gun toteing Americans" salve to make the boo boo better. Everything John McCain says, is bullshit.

Republicans have magic powers to look inside the minds of Democrats, to tell what they are REALLY thinking.
The latest of these Einstiens has revealed that "Democrats want America to suffer and hurt"
This is bullshit.

These same magic powers allowed anouther Nostradamus of the GOP to observe, that democrats are actually "socialists who hate real americans who work hard and believe in God". The speaker at first, denied the remarks, untill a tape of them was produced, which adds an additional layer of bullshit.

Finally, i was assaulted by a 'Christian" displaying an intelectually obscene message on his car. The license plate holder said: Even Darwin believes in God now.
On so many levels, what bullshit. Darwin was a faithfull anglican, He was interred in Westminster Abbey. This message indicates the purvasivness of hyperliteralist, fundamentalist bullshit, disguised as Christianity.

Even after such an all inclusive list other instances of bullshit go wanting, bring them hither!
As Peter Gabriel once sang;

Looking behind me
the waters turn icey blue
the lights are dimmed
and once again
the stage is set for you

Yes I am from Mars and I'm going to suck your brains out with a straw

Actually, a swizzle stick would be more the implement.

I, with my tweed jacket (that I bought at Goodwill) and my Obama button and my Obama hat was given the laser beam stare by a older women seated in a pick-up truck, waiting for her driver to return.

The pumping of 10 bucks worth of Sunoco seemed to take forever, though it was but 3.4 gallons. Being as liberals feel so much, I felt responsible for the bubonic plague and the french revolution through the charecture of this gaze and it made me proud.

I only wish the campaign were longer, so that i would have opportunity to piss off more of my fellow citizens.

Meanwhile, here is what John McCain and the RNC think about you, you terrorist, socialist, america hater.

Listen to these calls, even lower than their on air ads.

McCain has allowed this campaign to turn him from a lying sack of shit, to a sneaky lying sack of shit.

Get your war on

As we try to extract ourselves from a war of false pretense, you can get us in to anouther one by voting for McCain.

All the same persons who sold you Iraq are ready to sell you anouther war except Ahmed Chalabi, though he could get a slot as a consultant

Sunday morning comming down

John McCain was at one time high on my sympathy list. When the blasphemers known as Pat Robertsons' "Christian Coalition" were instrumental in defeating McCain in the 2000 South Carolina primary by smearing McCains Bangali daughter as being Black, I was pissed. When the head of the effort, David Wilkins, was appointed Ambassador to Canada (a country he had visited but once) The mean nasty librrell CBC announcer asked him which Canadian cities he liked and he could not name one (this is, of course for true believers, a prophetic revealation of what the jews, libberals and other non-believers had in store for the good christian woman Sarah Palin, by asking her the trick question;"what news papers do you read?", get behind me devil!!!!).

Any way, McCain has hired wilkens and his henchmen to the present campaign, he has tryed to throw slime through surragates and do the "man of honour" bullshit. He is a sell out and a chicken shit.

The TV ads and stump rhetoric are fostering a climate where "off with his head" is being heard more than at any time since the French revolution.

Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, who was with Dr. King on the Pettis bridge calls McCain out on it, comparing him to George Wallace.

If their is any defect to this, it is that it winds up being an insult to Wallace, in that he was at least honest about what he was trying to do.

Free form funkafied filth

The end of a whirlwind week end day,9 PM, out in the driveway, in my PJ's, unloading the groceries from the back of the mini van.

A figure ambled up the sidewalk, Steeler shirt, blue jeans, long haired man of uneven gait. Stoop shouldered, he wasn't too drunk but had a strange pattern of locomotion, as a puppet with a stick up his backside.

He was 10 feet north of the driveway, on his way, it seemed, when he belched over his shoulder; "Obama sucks!".

I gave the moment no more import than deserved, but added it to a growing disquiet of how things could and probibly will, go wrong.

The problem is, that the great remaining number of undecieded voters look like this guy, under-educated white working class Blah blah blah....... and it scares the shit out of me that things are so close, that the fate of western civilization is in the hands of idiots.

If you think I am being harsh, look at this or this.

Then look at the fact, that the pipeline of information for these Rhodes Scholars, The television, is filled with brainless corporate tools who will never report this because it is too complicated.

Obama has done a great job, the numbers look good. But the kind of "he is not like us" shit they have been throwing may start to gain traction with people who dont quite think things through.

I would love to see the co-relation between those paying 450% interest to have a big screen TV and those who will vote for John McCain.

Further tension comes from the fact that these folks have not taken the opposite side over a gentlemanly disagreement over depreciation rates for factory equipment but life and death serious legends of their own minds.

Obama, to them, will fullfill his negroness, by personally sexing their wives and daughters, then fulfill his Muslimness by surrendering to Osama Bin Laden. They dont just want to vote against him, they want to give maximum shit to ANYONE who would support him.

These, at long last, are the fellow citizens who will decide the nations fate.

Tell me how I am supposed to feel.

" The most Liberal member of the U.S. Senate"

Those of you with memory capacity beyond 4 years will remember that John Kerry is " The most Liberal member of the U.S. Senate".

The owners of this copywrited phrase, the Republican party, have commited a degradation of their own property, by not cancelling this destiction for Kerry before conferring it on Obama.

Or was this made unessisarry by Kerry becomming a right winger?

Both were B.S. designations, made by stacking the rating sources to produce the desired result.

To say that none of that exists here would be disingenuous (SEIU is the only union included) but it seems closer to the truth.

It gives great satisfaction, when argueing with family wing nutz, to point to a list that has Obama to be one click to the right of the Senates" only former KKK member.

Gird thy loins!

A great fact sheet for when you are arguing with your grandma about Bill Ayers.

Also heard that the McShame campaign will be bringing up Rev. Wright again, so study up troops, the bullshit is gonna get real deep!

Maverick my ass!

I was reading today, the New York Times. (all the news thats fit to print so that Sarah can name a newspaper).

They took tyme ouwt frum startin' wars and scammin' for Ahmed Chalabi to say that those mavericky mavericks dont deserve the name the good ol' USAmericans gived 'em, summa them should have maps, cause they don' have 'em, anywhere like such as snooowmahsheeen!

Whatta bunch a eeest cooost illeeetists!

"Its the economy stupid!" 2008

The treadworn James Carville directive to Bill Clinton is still valid.

Even more so, in that if the righties want to bring up Bill Ayres, Obama brings up Charles Keating, which puts us right back to the economy.

However, all is not positive.

A part of Obama's strenghth is in getting votes from rural and religious voters.

As much fun as it is, knocking Sarah Palin may errode this trend.

Pals around with who?

So Sarah was just showing off that she could name a specific newspaper when she delivered the Obama pals with terrorist quip.

So if this is the level of discourse desired;

McCain pals with convicted felon

McCain pals with convicted felon

Sarah pals with own brain

And all of these are voluntary adult relationships, just thought i would mention it.

Can we buy Sarah a clue?

Lets see, she is a member of a fundementalist "bible" church so far in to halucenigenic interpretation of the book of Joel that they were kicked out of the "Assembly of God" for heresy.

So... perhaps she would object to the jurisprudential highjinks of the Supremes on "SCHOOL PRAYER".

You know, where "JUDICIAL ACTIVISTS" took "GOD" out of "OUR SCHOOLS"

Like Abington v Shemp, Engle v Vitale

And just in case she wants to play "GOVERNOR OF ALASKA" again, she may want to take look up the title "Exxon shipping v Baker" where "JUDICIAL ACTIVISTS" "LEGISLATED FROM THE BENCH".

The Real John McCain?

I tend to put some creedence to personal testimony.

When a cousin of mine testified of a chance run in at an airport with Howard Dean and that Dean had tried to get preferential treatment because of "who I am", it lowered my stock in him.

A person is testifying of behavior on John McCains part that is disturbing and matches well with other reports.

We will see how far this goes. Tell me if you see it elsewhere.

UPDATE

Why, after hearing a years worth of "Obama is a Muslim terrorist with an america- hateing christian preacher" variants, i should give a rats ass about acurracy, snopes casts a shadow on this.

But of course Palin can say Obama "pals around with terrorists", she wouldnt know the truth if it bit her in the ass!

Question of balance

As the presidential process is subjected to mind numbing sideshows.

think of this;

Is our national security enhanced or diminished, by a system where despots can purchase U.S. government support and infuence, to the detriment of their people

Word Salad

My dear wife, who is a psych- Nurse, brought home a wonderful term for the disconnected jargon spewed forth by those of feeble mind; "word salad".

Chopped up chunks of thought and language strung together by the dressing of ums and ahhs that cover for the stalls that all of us experience.

But could we please contemplate that these are supposed to be terms applied to the scientific and theraputic observation of MENTALLY ILL PERSONS and that when these terms are accurately applied to those running for public office, we have a problem here kids.

ripping apart a sterio-type with an Uzi

On a night where I ended street canvasing by denying a voter registration form to a women who said she would vote against Obama because he was a "dot head" like those who attacked us on 9/11, I was looking for someone to give society a swift kick in the balls.

I, for a moment dwelled on the delicious irony of this diarrheic opinion( was there an Indian "Jon Stuart" who could sit mouth agape in the foreground of a blazing golden temple after runing a tape of these remarks?)

It got better.
Feeling all bad and catholic about engaging a crudity I said "Do you know what a "dot head" is? " yea, I work for one, they did 9/11!".

"But "dot heads" as you put it, are Hindus! they have had some pretty big fights with Muslims who i think you wish to accuse Obama of being". "So i suppose you wont give me one now?" after recovering from her successful deployment of "suppose" i spit "get one from the McCain Campaign!"

Getting back to that kick in the balls, Bill Maher has this tremendous inversion of a steriotype. If only it could be understood by some of the f#@%ing idiots to whom it applies.

Kennedy Nixon

It has been repeated to the point of folklore, that those who heard the Nixon Kennedy debate on radio thought Nixon won, but that those who saw it on television thought Kennedy won.

I heard parts of the first hour with my headphone radio at the Gateway- Norwin game, I was somewhat subdued by what a "good speech" John McCain was giving, he was presenting his bumper stickers without regard to the questions posed, a winning tactic (not stategy) for Republicans for years.

Then we got home and saw the replays and recieved the classic "different" impression, but to take it one step further, we watched some of it with the sound down(Alaska rules?).

I saw Barak Obama; confident, focused, engaged.
I saw John McCain looking like a pedaphile under interrogation at a Turkish police station.

Your urgent responce is desired please.

Any one with an e-mail account has encountered the broken Victorian English, and hyper-polite approach of these financial scam offers that usually come from Nigeria or elsewhere in west Africa.

Cynthia gets credit for passing this along:

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude. I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you. . .

I am working with Mr. Phil Gramm, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transaction is 100% safe.

This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.

Yours Faithfully
Minister of Treasury Paulson

Stop the debate?

So McCain wants to stop the campaign and the attendant debates so he can jet back to D.C. to "fix" the economy.

He showed no such compunction the night they hatched the de-regulation that led to this debacle.

Will the real John McCain please stand up.

The $800 Billion kick in the ass

I have been trying to muster optimism ever since the corporate media spent 2 weeks talking about lipstick.

Now we have to pay out $800 Billion because the great deregulators Phil (kiss my ass you whiners) Gram and John (i was NOT staring at Sarahs who-haw) McCain, thought they knew more about bank regulation than Franklin Roosevelt.

Responsibility must be assigned!

I say we pay a make-up artist to write "McCain took your $800 Billion" on the well shaped leg of one of the participants in "Dancing with the stars".

When the people attend to bread and circuses, you must write the message on the bread.

President Paulson is trying to put together a "coalition of the bankrupt" but Germany and France have told him to cram it.

Chriss Dodd is throwing on the brakes.

"fundamentals of the economy"= Nurses, Factory Workers, Farmers...( whatever YOU are)

Therefore: when Obama and his supporters Mock the premise of the "fundamentals of the economy being sound"

THEY ARE MOCKING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEMSELVES

It is the kind of ridiculous retrodefinition of inconvinient (to McCain) facts that might work.

Obama supported a bill in the Illinois legislature which called for "Dont talk to stangers" "good touch bad touch" "go get a grown up for help" type education for children.

Johnny we hardly knew ye

I came to know this dark 18th century anti-war anthem my Junior year of High School. It shared the melody of the later, glossed up, less antiwar American version "when Johnny comes marching home" but that was the end of the similarities. It was as if the American version intentionally ignored the exquisite expression of pain and loss of the Irish version, by ending each verse with the triumphant;"...and we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home.

By contrast, a verse from the elder;

Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run, hurroo, hurroo
Where are your legs that used to run
When you went for to carry a gun
To be sure but your dancing days are done
Oh Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

Likewise, someone named John has lost his soul in the war on terror
and his family is trying to find were he has gone.

'The mean liberal media and godless secular humanists are heaping disrespect on Sarah Palin because she is a Christian and a patriot" is the new republican mantra.

Rx for the tail spin is as follows:

1) Never mention Sarah Palins name (she is a halucination)
2)only mention John McCain and George Bush
3) Remind people that one year ago John McCain called conservative Christians "agents of intollerance"
4)Remind people that John McCain was for the "tax break for the rich" AFTER he was against it (take that existential twist John Kerry!)
5)Remind people that John McCain is secular humanist who is useing Sarah Palin as a fig leaf (yuck) to decieve the good righteous Cristian people of the U.S.A.

over heard a couple of republicans doing the "was'nt the liberal media mean to sara palin" routine, "Charlie Gibson tried to make her look bad but our girl hung tough!"

This, obviously pissed me off at several levels, the greatest of which was the assumption that Charlie Gibson possessed the arguementitive acumen to give any one a hard time. I felt like screaming "Charlie Gibson could not give a turnip a tough time" but being as Gibson had not risen through the ranks of the anointed in time to interview Reagan, there is no direct proof.

I need not remind you that the only media team to do such a shitty job running a presidential debate, that they were booed by the studio audience on live television, were Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolos.

First off, a thousand thanks to Matt, the former producer of the former Lynn Cullen Show for attempting to rescue the last 9 hours of old bigmouth Clair on the radio. It seems the powers that be had the IT guy pull the plug on the podcast page early so that no one (including me) got a chance to download the last 3 days, I met up with Matt who will try to yank the missing programs from the bowels of data central at Mon$ytalk1360. Please pray for his success and read his blog (link down there to the left). Matt Reports Lynn to be "hitting the button" with every station in town that does talk, problem is, that aint so many stations. So those of you with bright ideas about internet radio,LP FM an' that, keep those cards and letters comming!

Also, one of Matt's corespondents, Amy, Lived in the town where Sarahcuda was mayor and has written detailed critique.

It seems that although Palin is stepping into the role of Dick Cheney, to Wasilla, she was George Bush, stirring up trouble, running up deficits. Check it out:

The recent public displays by those acting under the guise of the republican party

have been shallow, manipulative, symbol filled, devoid of substance Bullshit. But it might just work.

Just Deserts

As Phil ( I got a multi million dollar job with Banc Suisse so F$ck you elitist democrats) Gram said: yinz guys around Pittsburgh are Whiners.

You don’t need WPTT anymore 'cause you have the phallic font of Republican bullshit KdicKA to give you the company line.

First we had that Dumbass they imported from the Carolinas to play the part of Honsbergers missing stomach, going on CNN to defend Michael Savages "90% of Autism is an act" comment as being "taken out of context", now we have the keepers of the "50,000 watt blowtorch" giving platform to John McCains own predictable brand of self immolation.

Yea, you heard right; self immolation, He wants you to have a Vietnam image; McCain as POW in his lonely cell, ( a terrible thing to happen to anyone, John used to think it was a terrible thing to happen at Guantanamo, not no more) McCain has the 'POW line' as a bumper sticker, he keeps a 6 inch stack of them in his back pocket and every time the questions get tough, he whips one out and slaps it on. The origin of this line was the Jay Lenno Show, where john at least had a germane place to stick it (it is after all, roughly defined as a housing question). Hey john, how many houses do you have? "Well with all due respect Jay, for 5 1/2 years, I didn’t have a house...", circumlocutious, but he got to house. Now the line is flopping out as a nonsequitor so often, and so unpredictably that these "POW line" bumper stickers are pileing up on Johns body to such a great extent that he would be considered a fire hazard in many municipalities. He might go poof like that infamous Buddhist monk who doused himself in gasoline then burned himself alive as protest to the savagery of the war, there’s yer Vietnam image, Bud.

If you don’t believe me, check this out http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/08/29/pownd-you-lose/

this contains a link to a KDicKA interview with McCain in which he slaps on the sticker "because Obama won’t do town hall meetings'. Good thing Obama wears a flag pin now or we would get another sticker. Not that I wish to torture anyone with exposure to this crap, but listen to the disconnect of McCain, its like he has his suit jacket covered in post-it notes of one liners, just rip one off and read it, get called on the incongruity thereof ? "Well with all due respect xxx, for 5 1/2 years, I didn't have a house...".

Some credit goes to John Shumway for at least bringing up the plight of the middle class, which McCain bats down with "were have you been? At my town hall meetings I have said things about the plight of the middle class.

Say some more things John, it gets us off to know you feel our pain.

This only a test

Joe Bageant wrote me this morning to say that the outage of his website was of innocent origin, a switch in server providers. But this was the first time that one of my bookmarks came up dead (although temporarily) it scared me about the subject of Net Neutrality.

Would the "Your desired site is closed, try these alternatives" message i saw, be the same I would see if access to sites were controlled by corporate or ideological affiliations?

This is all my roundabout "space cadet" way of saying Net neutrality should be discussed. But first a "state of the website.

If you look back thru the archieves have a number of fairly well written messages on a variety of topics. but if you look at Joes website: http://www.joebageant.com/ you will see that the input of the writers is put right up front and of high quality. That sites such as crooks and liars http://www.crooksandliars.com/ and this modern world http://www.thismodernworld.com/ are sustained by contributers and guest writers.

That is what i want for the future of teutonicjihad. More participation from YOU, dont be shy, this is all written now with plenty of time to research and think things out, so dont be shy.

up next; resources for the post WPTT era

clue #1 I am listening to WCPT Chicago which has a great liberal line up, including Thom Hartman, Google it today!

The dawn of internet censorship?

From about 11:00PM to 11:00AM I was having trouble getting Joe Bageants web site:
http://www.joebageant.com/ did anyone else have this problem. It came back on this morning, but reminded me how fragile the "alternatives" can be.

This is the lifeboat

I sit here, drained from the last show,it was a hell of a ride thanks to you.

Keep an eye on this space for future updates.

Put new flints in your Zippos kids

Its time to give these lyin' sacks of shit a hot seat!

Peace thru Bravery
